What is an umbilical hernia? An umbilical hernia is a bulge through the abdominal muscles in the area of the navel (belly button). The hernia may contain tissue from the abdomen, part of an organ (such as the intestine), or fluid.
Iliac crest contusion occurs due to bleeding of abdominal muscles and swelling. This can cause excruciating pain when the person tries to move his hip region. Bleeding can occur on the periosteum region of the bone resulting in inflammation and the muscles of the iliac crest would develop spasms.
The pain is usually sudden, sharp and vary in intensity; it can be felt along the iliac crest, but it can also extend all the way to the spine, along the sciatic nerve path, through the hip and all the way to the groin area.
